Excerpt from The Early History of the Jews in New York, 1654-1664: Some New Matter on the Subject This date, however, requires change; it is the date when the ship left Holland, as appears from a record at Albany giving a list of passengers sailing from Holland to New Netherland between 1654 and 1664, who had not prepaid their passage. This shows that Jacob Barsimson and Jacob Aboaf, Jews, left Holland to come here with the Perehoom, or Peartree, on July 8, 1654, and that Aboaf did not continue his journey but stopped off in England. Barsimson apparently arrived here August 22, 1654, when it appears that his passage money of thirty-six guilders was paid, whether by him or some one else is not stated The full record, now printed for the first time, is here given as translated from the Dutch.
